If you want to be better and symptom free than ESIFLO would be the correct drug. However you can see a chest physician to discuss.

You can stop all the medicines and get a lymph node biopsy. If positive restart akt and if negative then no need of treatment. Sometimes lymph node don't reduce in size beyond a certain size in tb lymphadenitis and they persist.
